Since the advent of highly active antiretroviral therapy, HIV infection has become a chronic, albeit life-threatening, condition that can be managed; therefore, more and more people are growing older with HIV. Although little research has been conducted on how HIV infection and the aging process interact to affect patient care and well-being, the bodies of literature pertaining to gerontology and HIV and AIDS offer some guidance. It can be helpful for the nurse to have a brief overview of some common concerns--in particular, the potential for drug interactions or toxicities, cognitive declines, and emotional problems--that nurses and other health care professionals are likely to face when providing care to older adults with HIV.
自从高效抗逆转录病毒疗法问世以来，HIV 感染已成为一种慢性疾病，尽管具有生命威胁，但可以得到控制；因此，越来越多的人携带 HIV 逐渐变老。尽管关于 HIV 感染和衰老过程如何相互作用影响患者护理和健康的研究很少，但老年病学和 HIV/AIDS 相关文献提供了一些指导。对于护士来说，简要了解一些常见问题（特别是药物相互作用或毒性、认知能力下降和情绪问题的可能性）可能会有所帮助，这些问题是护士和其他卫生保健专业人员在为 HIV 老年患者提供护理时可能会遇到的。
